Virtual - Transnational Project Meetings (TPM) - Project Opening and Planning - POLAND

First Meeting of the Erasmus Project "Transition from STEM to Robotics"

On May 17-18, 2024, the first meeting of the Erasmus project "Transition from STEM to Robotics" (KA210-SCH - Small-Scale Partnerships in School Education), project number 2023-2-PL01-KA210-SCH-000178221, took place. The project aims to promote the transition from STEM education (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) to robotics, focusing on teachers and students.

 Partner Countries

During the meeting, the partner countries participating in the project were presented. The project coordinator is Poland, and the partners are:

- Turkey

- Malta

- Portugal

Budget Discussion

A key point of the meeting was a detailed discussion of the project budget. Representatives from all partner countries were informed about the allocation of financial resources, which will be used for various project activities, including organizing mobility, purchasing educational materials, and covering administrative costs.

 Project Goals

The "Transition from STEM to Robotics" project aims to:

1. **Enhance teachers' competencies**: Provide training and workshops for teachers in the fields of robotics and new technologies.

2. **Develop students' skills**: Offer practical classes and projects related to robotics, allowing students to develop technical skills and creativity.

3. **Exchange experiences**: Facilitate international cooperation, enabling the exchange of experiences and best practices among partner schools.

### Partners' Responsibilities

During the meeting, the responsibilities of each partner in the project were outlined. Each partner committed to specific tasks, such as organizing workshops, preparing educational materials, coordinating local activities, and participating in mobility exchanges.

 Mobilities

The project includes several mobility activities aimed at exchanging experiences and best practices among teachers and students from the partner countries. Planned activities include study visits and working meetings, which will facilitate direct collaboration and the practical application of acquired knowledge.

 Summary

The first meeting of the "Transition from STEM to Robotics" project was very productive. Concrete steps for the future were established, tasks for each partner were defined, and the first mobility exchanges were planned. Participants expressed enthusiasm and readiness for collaboration, emphasizing that this project represents an excellent opportunity to develop modern educational competencies in the field of robotics.

The "Transition from STEM to Robotics" project promises to be a significant step towards modern education, combining STEM with practical applications of technology in teaching.
